Re: Nights drawing in


Definitely noticed it kazz, but try not to think about it. When I work nights I start at 10pm, a few weeks ago it was just about light while I was driving to work, now it is dark, and it gets lighter later, about 5am as opposed to 4am.

I've been very aware of it; we've lost 17 minutes of daylight already! All downhill now until the Winter solstice...drat!! Wish we'd stay on Daylight Saving all year....

Re: Nights drawing in


It's scary isn't it? Really hit us coming back from Sweden .. extra 'European hour' anyway, plus being further north - we didn't see any real darkness whilst we were away .... and now it's dark at 9pm and much more dull (and cooler) in the mornings. Ho hum
(but I wouldn't like to live on the equator and have it light, like a switch going on at 6am and dark, like a light going off at 6pm every bloomin' day of the year. How boring would that be?
